THIS. Ive found good advisors push there students forward, mediocre ones tend to push themselves. Academic robotics is plagued with profs who do "everything".

Its pretty common where I live in Asia. Most people here dont particularly like the idea of caffeine at night, although late night coffee is rare where I live.

There are some things that are bad, but not the domain of a government to handle. When a 4 year old kid punches another 4 year old kid in a playground fight, the government usually does not get involved. Rather, adult supervision plays an i

I find MOOC videos super useful even though I havent been motivated to complete one properly. I may not have the time to juggle work and an MOOC with homework deadlines, but sometimes the MOOC videos may be all I need to finish a complex ta

SAT shows up in a lot of problems. Im doing my PhD in multi-agent robotics after spending some time working on real life multirobot deployments. Ive been frustrated because most roboticists I talk to think SAT is a dead end, but we have bee

Founded in 2005. They probably have a very strong Knowledge transfer system and alumni network in place (useful for funding). This is something I can attest to when I go back to my college days.

I used to be part of a very successful competitive robotics team. You'll be surprised at how many student teams have this one guy who has been doing his PhD forever/startup founder who spun off from your team and mentors it that e

Tbf ROS is a pretty old project. ROS1 dates back to 2009 iirc. A lot of technologies didnt exist back then. Even ROS 2 is now relatively old. The way I see it is that we have since learned a lot about software engineering. I dont think usin

As an ex-firefighter not based out of antarctica, you are absolutely right. Sea water is extremely damaging to pumps. We use it as a last resort, and often have to refurb pumps when we do.

Yeah the government does not disturb businesses here much. But they do heavily subsidize corporate costs. Theres a economic development board that provides lot of grants for companies. Most mncs use edb grants for setting up their initial b

Im not sure about how much the dictator part is nessecarily true. For one when singapore was independent it was already wealthier than its neighbours. PAP loves telling us how theyre the best thing on earth, but Im not convinced. LKY did a

Cant do that with my banking app, payment app or government apps :(. Unfortunately where I live almost everything requires a phone.

I tend to agree but there are way too many paper mills out there and Ive been stuck in one. The gamification of google scholar is real

I'm impressed, its better than the article I found written by Storm. That being said both tend to rely on whats available on the internet, so lack things that are more subtle. Its impressive that your article picked on Pixi. Of course

I gave a prompt and it stright up hallucinated. My prompt was about writing an article about the advantages and disadvantages of rust in the robotics ecosystem. It claimed that google cartographer was written in rust. The annoying thing abo

I read this article and was confused. Lot of asian countries already provide digital identities, its not some utopian impossibility. I often carry only my phone out of the house. Sure its convenient, but there are downsides as well. You hav

The way this case is being handled all I see is the courts are trying to make other business people richer. They remain hostile to the consumer. Its a case of legal protection for the rich. I feel the harms that traditional publishers cause

You do you. To be entirely frank 90% of the world is not software engineers. If I were to ask the guy who sells food at my local food stall to pay for a search engine where free (as in dollars) alternatives exist he is going to pick the fre

China, Korea and Japan have never depended on google for search. Baidu, Naver and Yahpo reign supreme. Their bussiness model is very similar to goofle tbf. ASEAN and India however rely on google heavily. Googles ad based subsidies for their

The best way to tackle this is enforce right for repair and require opensourcing of various components. Breaking up google will be an impossible job. If we mandate that our electronics and software must be repairable then these companies wi

I used to work for an opensource organization full time. They used to rely on contracting for revenue. It wasnt a lot but it was sufficient to keep the org going for 10 years.
